Section 3.1 - Stormwater Management Controls Overview<br />

used to divert all or a portion <strong>of</strong> the WQ v to an <strong>of</strong>f-line structural control sized and designed to<br />

treat and control that portion <strong>of</strong> the WQ v . After the design run<strong>of</strong>f flow has been treated and/or<br />

controlled, it is returned to the conveyance system. Flow Regulators<br />

Flow regulation to <strong>of</strong>f-line structural stormwater controls can be achieved by either:<br />

• Diverting the WQ V or other specific maximum flow rate to an <strong>of</strong>f-line structural stormwater<br />

control, or<br />

• Bypassing flows in excess <strong>of</strong> the design flow rate. The peak water quality flow rate (Q wq )<br />

is used as a design parameter to calculate the peak flow rate <strong>of</strong> the WQ v and is calculated<br />

using the procedure found in <strong>Chapter</strong> 4.<br />

Flow regulators can be flow splitter devices, diversion structures, or overflow structures.<br />

Examples are shown in Figures 3-2, 3-3 and 3-4.<br />
